Tell you what, though, if anything good came out of the old ones, it's that Matthew Lillard was pretty much born to play Shaggy.

Also, had it not ended the way it did, The Cabin In the Woods could have certainly been the Scooby-Doo reboot we had all been waiting for.

I would imagine the same emotions that went through Walter Cronkite while he was reporting JFK's assassination....went through nail as he reluctantly wrote this article.

Make it darker but still stay true to the cartoon, plenty of references. Maybe take the new cartoon route, have the parents involved and stuff

I don't even think kids like these movies.

I was the perfect age to enjoy the Scooby-Doo cartoons in the 70s. By the time the first live-action, I considered the cartoons hokey, but nostalgic. I viewed the first movie the same way and enjoyed it on a minor level. I am sure I will view the new one in the same spirit. I just hope they get a cast that matches the stereo-types of the characters as the Matt Lilliard and crew did. And please keep Scooby CGI. Cartoon animal characters never translate well to live-animal actors. Underdog anyone?

I [frick]ing love the Scooby-Doo movies. I think it has to do with the fact I was 7 when it came out but I don't care. The casting was perfect in these movies.

Guy on AMC had a great idea..


Take a more serious tone, and have shaggy doing bongs the whole time..Only Shaggy can hear and speak with Scooby...Everyone else just sees/hears a dog....

Go for PG-13...

Didnt they team up with Batman and Robin in some episode? Perhaps this is the start of a new movie universe.. What if Scooby Doo is in the after credits scene of Dawn of Justice?

Cant belive we get 3 Scooby movies but no Hellboy3 or Dredd sequel.

A high Shaggy in a van with Scooby and a jar of peanutbutter..

Only good thing to come out of the first live action movies was Matthew Lillard as Shaggy. The first movie was able to be enjoyed if you aren't thinking about how terrible it is, but the second one was terrible.

Call me crazy but I'm all for it. I would love to see live versions of "Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island" the a correct adaption set in the actual time period of the series would honestly be pretty dope!

Wasn't there a movie where cartoon Shaggy was yelling at Lillard? Was it Looney Toons Back In Action?

No please god no Scooby Doo 1 felt like scooby doo meets ''I know what you did last summer'' two was alright the tv movies don't exist
I don't know what more you can do for such a beloved franchise how ever if it's done with tender loving care then kudos to the director
but after Scrappy Doo consumed all the souls of everyone...Really?? who thought that was a good idea especially for a movie aimed at kids.
